Ofsted
Good Inspected 28 March 2023
Strengths
- “Leaders have high expectations for all pupils.”
- “They are particularly determined that pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and those who are disadvantaged achieve well.”
- “Pupils are happy coming to school.”
To improve
- “In a few subjects, the precise knowledge that pupils need to know and remember has not been identified.”
- “Nevertheless, in a few subjects, subject leaders are not checking on the implementation of the curriculum closely enough, thus limiting their ability to improve provision in their area of responsibility.”
- “While some pupils do not attend school as often as they should, leaders do all they can to encourage them to attend regularly.”
